As it turns out, watermelon is a symbol of Palestinian resistance to the occupation. The fruit has the four colors of the Palestinian flag, and as a result artists in the West Bank are forbidden to depict them. <br /><br />That was not the case in Beacon on Saturday, as members of several Palestinian rights groups handed out watermelons and flyers along the sidewalk. Members of Jewish Voice For Peace and Middle East Crisis Response called attention to the Israeli soldiers and armed settlers who are destroying Palestinian homes, schools, farms, and infrastructure. <br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt7DmHkbK6Zwk8Q38tNDOTUXF-9wBsgNGNdUxmF_lJ28003dnTczEr6X_PXgTbvh1LmD5nsKG4gTfAjhfckkcpxS4d23vBDZMEHoVBQ7sRdDDshJ89kDJijf-bLJRWayboTVJvCnRHjcYcuwJIZYYLIpgXmEpyypjPi0JNyEWAUxZf_M1fdf02oYy2PsY/s640/IMG_3304.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt7DmHkbK6Zwk8Q38tNDOTUXF-9wBsgNGNdUxmF_lJ28003dnTczEr6X_PXgTbvh1LmD5nsKG4gTfAjhfckkcpxS4d23vBDZMEHoVBQ7sRdDDshJ89kDJijf-bLJRWayboTVJvCnRHjcYcuwJIZYYLIpgXmEpyypjPi0JNyEWAUxZf_M1fdf02oYy2PsY/w400-h300/IMG_3304.JPG" width="400" /></a></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71797727753146952.post-61873109734507630842022-12-22T17:22:00.003-05:002022-12-22T17:22:49.442-05:00Ben & Jerry’s is 100% out of Israel<p> </p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: black; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; min-width: 100%; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; width: 100%px; word-spacing: 0px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #3bbdaf; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-align: left; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><p dir="ltr" style="color: #3bbdaf; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">We have big news to share.

Their Jewish values are part of their conviction that such change should occur, that it is inconsistent with their liberal values to allow such systemic oppression to continue unabated and without opposition. </p><p style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.65em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In other words, they link Israel with their Jewish outlook, and they want to see another Israel, which alas never appears on the map. When even the liberal Zionist leaders of Israel like Lapid tell them that they are antisemites, this is bound to provoke a more radical response by these people. They are being told that there is only one kind of Judaism, one that is bound in fundamentalist ultra-nationalism, occupation and Apartheid. </p><p style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.65em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Some of these people might start fighting for the soul of what they perceive to be Judaism. And their fight will have to become against Israel as a whole – maybe even against the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">idea </em>of Israel. That means, becoming anti-Zionist.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 2.2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Reality has brought us here. It’s nice to have dreams about what Israel is, or could be. But it is what it is. If cautious, selective, partial pressure won’t change that, then there are only two ways about it: give up, or up the stakes. </p><p style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 2.2em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2022/06/israels-vicious-response-to-ben-and-jerry-antisemites-is-a-wakeup-call-for-american-jews/">https://mondoweiss.net/2022/06/israels-vicious-response-to-ben-and-jerry-antisemites-is-a-wakeup-call-for-american-jews/</a> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71797727753146952.post-17071744810058774072022-08-19T11:06:00.004-04:002022-08-19T11:06:40.993-04:00Stop the drone spotters<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzh7KYx8yEDwHe_ZLvIWLjgvUzC4FCo0IeqlpAjd_6GbZnGA3RMCtua2grX8JexeKyegNx1hUot6PYdX8nvnaTnpDfj7ktUUtEoCcer4nPTkEqOUEEWTL4kxq0ifHzGWv569SshwtjJ6rdffeTSNRRPS1aU1CLL926DUORDQL5u7CCMLFWioNK8kLh/s1440/editor-2022-08-18.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1440" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzh7KYx8yEDwHe_ZLvIWLjgvUzC4FCo0IeqlpAjd_6GbZnGA3RMCtua2grX8JexeKyegNx1hUot6PYdX8nvnaTnpDfj7ktUUtEoCcer4nPTkEqOUEEWTL4kxq0ifHzGWv569SshwtjJ6rdffeTSNRRPS1aU1CLL926DUORDQL5u7CCMLFWioNK8kLh/w400-h225/editor-2022-08-18.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; margin: 1em 0em;"><strong>ShotSpotter is partnering with apartheid tech that powers flying drones — and we can’t sleep on that.</strong></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; margin: 1em 0em; text-align: start;">ShotSpotter has formed an exclusive partnership with Israel’s Airobotics Drones.
